Blogtoberfest – It's Back!!

/

OCTOBER….OCTOBER…OCTOBER!! Hang with me for ….. Blogtoberfest!     Terrible, isn’t it? But fun, right? The month of October is special to me. It’s not because of Halloween, although that’s part of it. October marks the month in which I had my first e-book, “Kitty Wishes” published with Evernight Publishing. In honor of this occasion as well as a personal challenge, I will be posting something Halloween related every single day of the month.  If I get frisky, I might post some snippets of the sequel to “Loving Among the Dead”…..”Among the Dead: One More for the Road”. I certainly hope that you will join me for Blogtoberfest – keep me honest with these posts! Leave a comment!  Share!  Above all, read and have fun! Dahlia

Horror Movie Review: Unfriended

/

Title: Unfriended Genre:  Horror, Thriller, Drama Director: Levan Gabriadze (as Leo Gabriadze) IMDB link:  http://www.imdb.com/title/tt3713166/ Synopsis according to IMDB: A group of online chat room friends find themselves haunted by a mysterious, supernatural force using the account of their dead friend. I might be getting too old for this, I admit this up front.  I did not enjoy this movie on any level. Though I thought the story and the premise was excellent, the thirty year olds playing high schoolers did nothing to elicit my sympathy.  I couldn’t even enjoy it on the “so bad it’s good” level because there was little to no physical action. You couldn’t say “don’t go in there” or “stay out of the basement”.  Nope.  The entire movie took place on a laptop screen. As I said, this was an interesting concept and on some level, it was well executed.  Since I watched the movie

Tuneful Tuesday: My Top Songs of the 60s

/

Another week is started and once again I try to revive this old blog.  Each time I declare that I’m going to post regularly, but you know what?  I’m going to take it easy and post when I can. Today’s post is inspired by the break I was taking to day from writing.  As I surveyed new and old music on youtube.com, I realized how many old-time songs (I.e. songs before my time) that I enjoyed.  I decided to gather my top five songs of the 60s.  So get out your soul beads, your round glasses and your  knitted shawls, sit back and enjoy.   5. Stand by Me – Ben E. King   4. House of the Rising Sun, The Animals     3. Sounds of Silence – Simon and Garfunkel       2.   Georgia On My Mind – Ray Charles       1. I Heard it

Horror Movie Review: Død Snø

/

Zombies, oh Zombies.  Nazi Zombies. Nazi Zombies who are after their stolen treasure.  What could be better? Title: Død Snø Genre: Horror – Zombies…Nazi Zombies!! Director: Tommy Wirkola How have I not reviewed this movie yet? For goodness sake, I’m slacking off. Two words: NAZI ZOMBIES Here is the synopsis according to IMDB: A ski vacation turns horrific for a group of medical students, as they find themselves confronted by an unimaginable menace: Nazi zombies. I gave this movie an A. I went into it knowing what I was going to get…a B grade zombie popcorn flick. This movie did not to pretend to be anything more than that. And they succeeded in a grand fashion. First of all, we have the so-called Ice Monster prologue…a scary chase through the woods set to Edvard Grieg’s In the Hall of the Mountain King, which is awesome stuff in and of itself

Horror Movie Review: The Frozen

/

Hey all!  I know I’ve been away for a bit.  With three little ones, the end of school week can a be a bit of a blur.  Between the graduations, the teacher’s gifts and the parties, it is a miracle I was able to take a breath.  But I’m back with another review for you.   Though I titled this a horror, it could easily be classified as a thriller.  It’s a little strange and confusing at times, but I enjoyed it…though I would not watch it again.   Title: The Frozen Genre: Horror/Thriller Director: Andrew Hyatt IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2363439/ No, this is not the Disney movie that took the world by storm. Look, I’m a huge sucker for going into the woods and bad things happening movies. Here is the synopsis according to IMDB: After a harrowing snowmobile accident, a young couple is stranded in the woods and must
